Definitions

  • the invention provides a method of lubricating an end-pivot finger follower valve train lash adjuster of a passenger car compression ignition internal combustion engine having a reference mass not exceeding 2610 kg comprising supplying to the internal combustion engine a lubricating composition comprising an oil of lubricating viscosity 0.01 wt % to 3 wt % of a dispersant viscosity modifier, and 0.01 wt % to 3 wt % of a zinc free sulphur-containing antiwear agent, wherein the lubricating composition has a sulphur-content of less than 5000 ppm, a phosphorus content of 1000 ppm or less, and a sulphated ash content of 12,000 ppm or less, or 10,000 ppm or less.
  • valve train of internal combustion engines is known to vary in both the design and with fuel type.
  • fuel type may be gasoline or diesel; and the valve train may have general types of configuration such as a direct acting cam and bucket, an end-pivot finger follower, a push rod or a rocker arm.
  • the valve train types are described in " Valve Train Components, Technology Failure Diagnosis", published by Schaeffler (see www.schaeffler-Aftermarket.com, with serial number 94410002202266/0/0/1/2010/PDF-GB ).
  • valve-train designs from a tribological standpoint as it interacts with a lubricant
  • the specific type of valve-train, the slide to roll ratio between contacts and the metallurgy can all affect the lubrication regime differently, meaning that engine metallurgy, contact pressure, speed of contact, surface finish, sliding versus rolling contact (or slide to roll ratio) all affect the way in which lubricant additives interact and contribute towards reducing wear, corrosion, or fatigue of engine components.
  • Valve-train designs are selected by original equipment manufacturer (OEM) depending upon design requirements for their engine and whilst there is no “best" design for an engine, the OEM considers design factors including valve-train design in combination other factors such as different fuel types and engine size.
  • OEM original equipment manufacturer
  • Heavy duty diesel engines are noted to be limited to all motor vehicles with a “technically permissible maximum laden mass” over 3,500 kg, equipped with compression ignition engines or positive ignition natural gas (NG) or LPG engines.
  • NG positive ignition natural gas
  • LPG low-duty truck
  • a heavy duty diesel engine such as a typical 12-13 litre truck engine would typically not exceed 2200 rpm while a passenger car engine can go up to 4500 rpm.
  • the difference in rpm between a heavy duty diesel engine and a passenger car means that because of the more extreme operating conditions a passenger car lubricant will be exposed to higher operating temperatures, higher shear, increased oxidation and deposit rates.
  • US 2013/0143780 discloses a lubricating composition comprising an oil of lubricating viscosity and a compound comprising the reaction product of a polyolefin, an ethylenically unsaturated aromatic acylating agent (or carboxylic reactant), and an amine.
  • the amine is an acyclic polyamine
  • the polyolefin is a polybutene
  • the lubricating composition has a sulphated ash content of 0.3 wt % to 1.2 wt % of the lubricating composition.
  • the lubricating composition is disclosed for use in an internal combustion engine having a surface of steel or aluminium (typically a surface of steel).
  • US 2012/0184473 discloses a lubricating oil composition
  • a lubricating oil composition comprising: i) a major amount of a base oil, ii) at least one oil-soluble molybdenum compound and iii) a zinc dialkyldithiophosphate compound, wherein the molybdenum content derived from the molybdenum compound is at least 10 ppm Molybdenum based on the total weight of the lubricating oil composition and the phosphorus content derived from the zinc dialkyldithiophosphate compound is about 200 ppm to 500 ppm based on the total weight of the lubricating oil composition.
  • the method of lubricating a motor engine comprising the step of operating the engine with the lubricating oil composition is also disclosed.
  • US 2012/0046206 discloses a lubricating composition comprising an oil of lubricating viscosity, a dispersant and an amine-functionalised additive, wherein the amine-functionalised additive is derived from an amine having at least 3 or 4 aromatic groups, wherein the amine-functionalised additive is a product obtained/obtainable by reacting the amine having at least 3 aromatic groups with a carboxylic functionalised polymer.
  • the lubricants are used in a Mack T 11 test, and further exemplify the use of sulphurised olefin antioxidant in an unspecified amount.
